Which spring enhancement upgrade kit do you suggest for 2012 Ram 3500hd DRW crew cab Longbed? To fit Eagle Cap 1160 4300lb Truck Camper?
Add leaf, Timbrens, Stable Loads, Sway bar, Airbags?
We just purchased a Northstar Igloo 9.5 weighing in at around 2960. The TC sits on our 2012 Ram 3500 DRW with a GVWR of 12,300# the only this that we did with suspension upgrades was Stable Loads. After a weekend in the mountains of North Carolina, Im here to tell you that no matter what you do if the road has those little annoying undulations in it, then that will be felt with a little bit more sway than normal. Consider all factors and some of the best advice I've seen yet is - Make one change at a time.
I am impressed with the truck ability to handle the load - that 6.7 seems to groove on the weight! And my mileage probably a difference of 3.5 miles with camper on and off.
